Dr. Laura Frame

Howdy! I am Dr. Laura Frame and am both a Licensed Psychologist and a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology (LSSP). Prior to returning to school for my doctorate, I practiced in the schools for over a decade with my master’s degree in school psychology from Texas Woman’s University. While working as an LSSP in central Texas schools, I developed an interest in supporting students with mental health concerns in the classroom and advocating for disability supports and services.

I earned my doctoral degree at Texas A&M University with a focus on clinical child and adolescent psychology. During my doctoral training, I received specialized training at a pediatric center for eating disorders where I provided therapy for children and adolescents across all levels of care (inpatient to outpatient). I completed an APA-approved school based mental-health doctoral internship through the Psychological and Social Services Department in the Dallas Independent School District. I completed my postdoctoral residency at the APACenter in Austin, Texas.

Throughout my career and training, I have provided interventions for children, adolescents, and young adults. Given my extensive background in education as well as working in community mental health and hospital settings, I have served children and families from diverse settings; therefore, I am able to assist individuals and families presenting with a wide range of concerns.  My intervention experience encompasses a variety of challenges including learning difficulties, autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, developmental delays, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, attention disorders, and other health impairments. I have specialized training in:

• ADHD coaching and parent training
• Behavioral consultation
• Childhood grief
• Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT)
• Crisis intervention
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Eating disorders
• Feedback informed treatment
• Mindfulness-based interventions
• Parent management training (PMT)
• Solution-focused therapy (SFT)
• Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) Parent-Based Treatment
• Trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT)

Additionally, I have extensive experience and training in completing comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults.
